Rod is the king of the model #5..... great collection Rod!!!

Those are 2 beauties for sure.

Patrick, your #5 with Iron wood handle is so out standing that I would like to ask all my Randall bretheran to keep an eye out for a source of a #5 - 8", SS, desert Ironwood presentation grade handle of at least this calibre for sale. The mid 1950's #5 - 8" I have has 'charminlgy aged' carbon steel and 'tired' leather handle. I would most indebted for any information of any that is available for sale.

My instinct was correct, this forum is such a delicously bad influence on a weak willed 'teenager at heart' Randall aficienado.


Many thanks.

Topos,Thank you,you made my day

Here's a nice old 5-7 pinned ivory that someone approached me with a year or two ago. A minor detraction was the missing keeper strap. A major detraction was the fact someone drilled a hole in the ivory handle (possibly in an attempt to keep a crack from spreading?). Anyway he wanted too much $ IMO and I passed on it. Hopefully someone who appreciates it has it in their collection now.

Ok, I know we're on to the model 6 but I don't have any and this is my last model 5 to show off, too bad I didn't get the original sheath, I do have a JRB around here somewhere for this model but the black one looked good in the photo...

That's really a great old knife, Rob!

Thanks Ron, can't believe someone actually drilled that ivory handle...

I posted this one in the photo gallery but it was suggested that I add it here.

This is a #5-5" that I recently received from The Captain.
